"yes"-ish; a lot o' the tracks were Albert and the Imaginos band oringally,
but the released version had overdubs by Pearlman of the other Oyster Boys
and other sounds/instruments.  Hence things being buried far, far, far in
the coal mines of the earphone.
A few members of the guitar orch. were guitars added by Pearlman.

I think it was Jon Rogers because the recording of hM was done w/ Steve
Schenck as opposed to the Buck Produced tracks with Danny Miranda on 'em.
Cant be  bothered to check though its only across the room -- how can you
go to HM when the Minutemen are "Tourspeil"-in' out one's stereo? :)
